For those of you who say no, I don’t completely agree because sometimes your child could land up in a negative situation without being aware if it. Something as simple as a “chain” email that comes from a known pal on the list can emotionally be haunting her, or something you don’t want your child to be exposed to sooner than you’d like.

My daughter is 8 and she knows that mom is her best friend and will always help her, never criticize her or make her feel bad. She also knows that until she is responsible and old enough to, I will always monitor her activities.

Nik i understand your concern, when we were in our childhoods internet, cell phone & media wasn’t part of our life at this scale. Now their are hundreds of different medium’s are available for child to have contact with outside world.

I would cite one example, game stations - on ps3, xbox or wii you can have profiles, a/v chat …and parents just thought they are playing games. Moral values & brought up environment specially education and once in few month father/mother/child talk about such issues that you can’t allow someone to touch you or changes in the body. etc..etc.. it’s a whole subject.

Desi parents tend to leave technology behind when they are snooping, they have to change their ways for example, child want email account sure you can have it but with parental controls .. Child want cell phone sure but with wireless limits (nearly all carriers provide it).. same can go for any other new invention. Living in west has definitely more exposure to sick people but they also have better laws & rules.

The most beautiful thing a parent can do for his children is becoming their friend.
